2. Description of the Related Art In many recent pachinko machines, various devices such as a prize winning device, a prize ball detecting device, a prize ball device, and a hit ball launching device are electrically controlled. Control means for that purpose, that is, a circuit box incorporating a control circuit board is incorporated. For example, JP-A 1-2
In the invention of No. 18482, the circuit box is set on the back mechanism plate on the back side of the pachinko machine, and is connected via a connector wiring to a plurality of relay boards installed on the back side of the game board.

As is well known, a pachinko machine has a large number of mechanical components mounted thereon, and most of them are mounted on the back of a game board, mainly on a mechanical plate on the back side of the pachinko machine. In many cases, it is not easy to secure a space for mounting a circuit box here. In particular, there is a need for a space for mounting a relay printed circuit board having a large number of connectors, which causes a problem that the design of other devices cannot be freely performed.

[0004] In such a case, it is necessary to carry out a wiring processing work for winding the wiring between the circuit box and the relay board.
This connection work also required a lot of time. In addition, it may not work properly due to worker's connection error and it may take time to assemble.To solve these problems, a method of color-coding connectors to eliminate connection errors is taken, but it is possible to connect individually It takes time and effort.

Conventionally, from such a situation, for example,
A cover is attached to the back of the mechanism plate and a circuit box is attached to the cover as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 8076 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-25391, or a cover is similarly provided on the back of the game board and the cover is attached. Although the method of mounting it on a scaffold is adopted, the structure to be installed via the cover is subject to another restriction because the cover is configured with other functions and can be installed freely You will not be able to do it.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has been invented for the purpose of solving the problems. In particular, the present invention is directed to a prize winning device provided on a game board. It is necessary to provide a pachinko machine in which a control circuit board for controlling blinking of a lamp to be displayed, a sound display, etc. can be easily and securely mounted in a state that does not hinder the mounting of other devices on the back of the game board. Is what you do.

As is known, the game board is provided with various prize devices, and the rear portion of the prize device protrudes from the back of the game board. An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine in which a mounting board is provided behind the game board to avoid these problems, and a control circuit board can be easily and accurately mounted via the mounting board.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and is characterized in that a mounting board is provided on a back surface of a game board, and a relay board having a connection connector is provided on the mounting board. On the other hand, the control circuit board for electrically controlling the winning device and the like is integrally provided with a connection connector corresponding to the connection connector of the relay board, and the two boards are connected to each other by a direct connection between the two connectors. An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine to be attached.

According to the present invention, in the above-mentioned pachinko machine, the control circuit board is housed and covered in the circuit box, and the connection connector of the circuit board is projected outside the circuit box so as to face the connection connector of the relay board. Pachinko machines will not be provided.

Further, according to the present invention, one of the connection connectors provided on the control circuit board and the relay board has a male shape,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine in which the other is female and the two are fitted and connected.

According to the present invention, the control circuit board is attached to the relay board attached to the back of the game board, and the connection connectors provided on both boards are directly connected to each other, so that they can be interconnected and assembled. If the female and male shapes of both connection connectors are aligned, the connection can be easily and appropriately performed without making a connection error.

Further, according to the present invention, the control circuit board is housed in the circuit box, and the connection connector provided on the board is projected out of the box, thereby preventing improper use of the board. This can be avoided beforehand by the inability to connect to other connectors by specifying the shape.
